Organizers.

It is essential to have a brave, honest and unselfish leader like you to protect our country at this crucial juncture in our efforts to eradicate this menace of Terrorism from the face of the earth. This has also taken many lives of innocent civilians of all ethinicities in our beloved Motherland.
You have given that leadership, beat and demoralized the terrorists at the most critical time of the war, a year ago. You did not march the soldiers to mine fields, you fought alongside them and took care of the soldiers. Now you have an opportunity to serve the country again with greater effect. We know that we are asking a lot from you, but at this point in time you are the only one who can save our country.
Hence, we the undersigned humbly appeal to you to rethink and reconsider your decision and accept the position of the Overall Commander of the Sri Lankan Army.
